Marion police pension funds face audit request
Marion police protection association president Robert Chiafos says the talk of auditing the police and fire retirement funds is blown out of proportion. He maintains they seek independent information to ensure sound administration. Clerk Mildred Stickney rejects claims funds have not been audited since 1954, noting annual audits by McGladrey, Hansen, Dunn and Co. for the fiscal year ending 1976 show healthy balances. Kopel plans to discuss the matter with Chiafos and local officials and may call on the state auditor if needed.
